ORITTENDEN OREGMILE, OF DELAWARE, OHIO, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO EDWARDE. NEFF, OF SAME PLACE.

EXTENSION-DOOR FOR HOLLAND CASES.

SPECIFICATI N forming part of Letters Patent No. 330,380, dated November17, 1885.

Application filed February 15, 1884. Serial No. 120,874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, CRITTENDEN CREGMILE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Delaware, in the county of Delaware and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Im provements in Extension -Doors forHolland- Oases; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figuresof relerence marked thereon. which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of ahollandcase constructed with myimprovement; Fig.

2, a perspective iew of the same, with the door let down and extendedaccording to my improvement; Fig. 3. across-section of theextension-slats on the line a: 00, Fig. 2.

Like letters designate corresponding parts in all of the figures.

My invention is applied to cases for holding rolls of holland or otherwindow-shade material or table oil-cloths, such as patented to me on the12th day of December, 1882, No. 269,158. In the said Letters Patent Ihave described the door as being hinged at the lower end, so as to letdown and be suitably supported in a horizontal position, and providedwith a cutting-off knife, whereby the holland may be held for measuringOH and be cut squarely across the web.

In the accompanying drawings, I also show the swinging frameD of theknife-slide f, corresponding with the same parts in the said LettersPatent. I also show a crank or winch, E, to be applied to the squaredends 9 g of rolls G G on which the holland or shade material is wound,for readily rolling up the material after being drawn out, the same asin the said Letters Patent. The door B is represented as hinged orpivoted at its lower end to hinge-pieces or pivot-blocks h h, attachedto the sides of the case.

My present invention consists of an extension in the upper or swingingend of the door, B, arranged to slide into the door out of the way whenthe door is to be shut, as shown in Fig. 1, and to be drawn out when thedoor is let down, and to be used as a cutting-off table,

with its inner or upper surface, be firmly held therein when extended,so as not to sag below a horizontal position, and be sufficiently thinand light. I prefer the construction shown in Fig. 8, in which theextension is made of a series of slats, a a, with spaces between them,into which slats b b of the door fit when the extension is slid into thedoor. The extensionslats a have V-shaped or equivalent form of groovesto fit over edges of corresponding shape on the door-slats b b, or thegrooves may be in the door-slats and the projecting forms on the edgesof the extension-slats. The outer ends are connected and kept in placeby a cross-rail or batten, c. This construction enables the uppersurface of both the door and extension slats to be flush and smooth, and

the whole construction is light and compact.

The door proper being made of slats with spaces between, the extensionfills those spaces when the door is closed. If the door is marked with ameasuring-scale, the extension may have a continuation of the scale. Thecase has a compartment, 0, in the lower part, under the main door, forcontaining holland in stock. The door B is to be high enough to giveabout the height of an ordinary table when let down into a horizontalposition, as shown in Fig. 2. This gives considerable room for thecompartment 0 below. Suitable doors, d d, of ordinary construction closethis lower compartment.

I claim as my invention- 1."In a holland-case, a door, 13, adapted to beturned down into a horizontal position for supporting the material to becut off, in combination with a frame, D, hinged thereto, and bearing acutting-off knife, and with an extension, A, adapted to be drawn out forlengthening the support formed by the door, and to he slid into the doorwhen the said door is to be closed, substantially as herein'specified.
